ConnectGO就是要问正确的问题:
最近我在新闻里听到了很多关于交通的消息. Why do we need another transportation plan if so many people are already working on it?
- ConnectGO解决了如何 所有 当前和未来的交通努力可以连接起来，创造一个公平的, 可访问的, 和现代化的区域交通系统. 在一起, we’re developing a coordinated strategy among existing transportation initiatives and developing an action plan to ensure we are addressing our larger community ch所有enges.
- 到目前为止，我们的工作表明，进入安全, 负担得起的, 对居民来说，高效的交通是当务之急, 整个地区的企业和机构. 然而, some of us lack access to our existing transportation system because of their income, 能力, 年龄, 或者他们住在哪里. 这阻碍了人们获得或离开高薪工作, 学校, 娱乐, 限制了我们地区的发展. 缺乏接触就等于缺乏机会.
你说的"大胆"是什么意思?
We believe this transportation strategy must be transformative in order to be effective. If we don’t act now – and act boldly – our region’s competitive value diminishes.
It’s imperative that we keep talented people here — and attract new residents — if we are going to realize our future vision for regional success. Data shows that good access to a variety of transportation modes is attractive to the next generation.

我总是需要开车到处走走. 更好的区域交通对我有什么影响?
